Experiential Therapy
Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
In childhood, we develop a number of coping mechanisms to adapt to the world we have been born into: people-pleasing, perfectionism, addiction, achievement, avoidance of conflict or uncomfortable feelings, codependency, etc. Usually, we seek therapy when these coping mechanisms that worked so well in our younger years are now actively harming us or our relationships, or are no longer successful in helping us deny our sadness, fear, anger, or loneliness.
My practice goes beyond symptom management and deep into the depths of the unconscious to help clients understand how unprocessed trauma and long forgotten stories are effecting their daily thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We will use imagery, dreams, and story-telling to help you rediscover that which has been lost - hope, intuition, self-trust, confidence, safety, love. Our goal, if you allow me to travel alongside you, will not be for you to become a better version of yourself or just feel better, but instead to know yourself on a deeper level and love all the different parts of you so that you can move forward in life more authentically, whole-heartedly, and peacefully!

Erin Gienger
Marriage and Family Therapist, Pre-licensed AMFT
I provide a safe space for clients to process whatever emotions or responses they may be experiencing. I have over 3,500 hours of experience doing therapy with various types of clients. I recently graduated from an MFT program and have enjoyed interacting with a new set of clients. I am particularly interested in working with clients who have had trauma, abuse, or difficulty with life transitions. I make myself available to give clients the ability to process their lives in a new way. If you believe I could be a good fit for you as your therapist, please get in touch with me.

Experiential Therapy
Mona Saba Valeriano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Even with insight and past therapy, you may still feel caught in patterns that leave you depleted—overextending yourself, avoiding conflict, striving to get everything “right,” or feeling disconnected in your relationships and from your own body. At some point, coping strategies that once protected you can begin to feel constricting.
In our work together, we delve into the deeper emotional and relational roots of these patterns. I bring 18 years of direct experience into the room, helping clients cultivate greater clarity, steadiness, confidence, and self-trust so they can move through relationships with more authenticity and assertion. My approach integrates experiential and depth-oriented therapies—including psychodynamic psychotherapy, ISTDP, EMDR, Brainspotting, and EFT—to support meaningful, lasting change at both the emotional, physiological and spiritual levels.
I see this work as especially important in a society that often prizes productivity over presence and autonomy over connection. By questioning dominant cultural narratives and inherited systems of disconnection, therapy can become a space for reclaiming connection, dignity, and care—within ourselves and across differences.
It is a privilege to accompany clients into their most tender and defended places. I trust that through this process, you can cultivate deeper self-understanding, greater inner coherence, and a more grounded sense of safety and belonging—within yourself and in the relationships that matter most.

Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
In a world of one-size-fits-all therapy, my practice stands apart through deeply personalized care. I understand that your healing journey is uniquely yours, which is why I never rely on formulaic or cookie-cutter approaches. Instead, I create individualized treatment plans tailored specifically to your needs, history, and goals. I don't tell you what you should do—I help guide you to make the best decisions for yourself.
What sets my practice apart is my commitment to authentic connection and methods rooted in both research and lived experience. Research shows that the single variable correlating most strongly with successful therapy outcomes isn't the specific method used—it's whether you feel genuinely understood and emotionally safe with your therapist. I've built this kind of connection with clients across wildly different backgrounds and circumstances.
My approach blends evidence-based techniques (CBT, ACT, Coherence Therapy, clinical hypnosis) with mindfulness practices and what I call "a healthy dose of woo." I bring the wisdom of clinical training alongside the understanding that comes from my own healing journey, including my experience with parentification and the deep work of unlearning old patterns. This combination allows me to guide you with authentic confidence and practical insight—not just theoretical knowledge.
If you've felt unheard, dismissed, or exhausted by therapy that felt like checking boxes or repeating the same surface-level strategies, you've found a different kind of resource. Many of my clients come to me after years of talk therapy that addressed symptoms without getting to the root of what's creating their struggles. Through my "update your operating system" approach, we access the deeper patterns and beliefs that may have been overlooked in conventional therapy settings.
My style is warm, direct, and refreshingly real—no therapy-speak or pretentious analysis. I trust that when we create the right conditions, your own inner knowing will guide us exactly where we need to go. There's something almost magical about this work when we trust the process.
Consider contacting me if you:
- Are experiencing mild to moderate anxiety, trauma effects, or relationship struggles (rather than acute crises)
- Sense that your current patterns have roots you haven't fully explored or understood
- Are ready for an approach that gets to the "why" behind your struggles, not just symptom management
- Want to develop practical skills and deeper self-understanding to create lasting change
- Value a collaborative partnership where you're not being fixed or rescued, but genuinely supported
I particularly welcome clients who are curious, open to looking at their lives holistically, and ready to do the sometimes uncomfortable work of growth. If you want genuine understanding, practical tools, and someone who has your back as you navigate complex emotions and life challenges, we'll likely be a good match.
